Cine Chitram Telugu Cinema World
Music legend Ilaiyaraaja, who holds an irreplaceable place in South Indian cinema history, continues to be a force to be reckoned with. Even now, his songs continue to touch hearts and create new generations of filmmakers. Yet the award-winning composer is currently in the spotlight, not for a latest hit track, but for a court controversy.
In recent years, a number of filmmakers have expressed their respect for Ilaiyaraaja by incorporating his classic songs in their films to establish a nostalgic link with the viewers. But when done without proper permission or licensing, such acts can easily get one into trouble with the law.
The recent controversy surrounding it is over the much-awaited Tamil film Good Bad Ugly, featuring Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar. Reportedly, the team of the movie used one of Ilaiyaraaja’s evergreen songs without formal permission from the composer. Having taken serious note of the situation, the experienced composer has given a legal notice and is demanding a compensation of ₹5 crores from the production team.
This shocking turn of events has caused a stir in the movie industry, raising questions of copyright, royalties, and artistic ownership respect. As the news continues to gather momentum, everyone now waits to see how the Good Bad Ugly filmmakers will respond to the situation.
In spite of the controversy, the movie continues to have strong box office, and people are streaming into theatres. It remains to be seen if this legal battle will have an impact on the long-term run of the movie or is settled behind closed doors.
